Before I show you my amazing corn cutting machine I’d like to tell you what I have been up to for the last couple of days.\u00a0 Yes, I have been freezing corn, but I have managed to catch up on some long awaited sewing that has been bugging me all Summer.<\/p>\n

I started a quilt in the Spring and had to put it aside for quite a while since I had a graduation quilt to complete\u00a0 and several door prizes to sew for our family reunion\/anniversary party.\u00a0 Now that those things are over, I am getting back into the swing of working on some new things.\u00a0 I made a blouse the last couple of days.\u00a0 I don’t have a picture of it yet, but will show you on another post.\u00a0 It’s from a pattern that I have used to make several blouses.\u00a0\u00a0It is\u00a0really more of a smock type blouse, loose with full sleeves and a tie at the neck. This blouse is so comfortable to wear and so easy to make.<\/p>\n

I have to make ninety of these blocks plus cut out blocks to go between .\u00a0 This is a fun quilt because I get to use up a lot of my different fabrics.\u00a0 The squares measure six inch square.\u00a0 It will be an old fashioned looking quilt I hope.<\/p>\n

I am pinning this quilt and this is all that I can show you because I am going to give it to someone.\u00a0 I pinned it once and discovered the backing wasn’t big enough for it so I had to unpin it all and sew more borders on the backing and then repin it.\u00a0 Errrrrrrgggg!!\u00a0\u00a0 Now it is going together nicely and I am looking forward to quilting it on my sewing machine.<\/p>\n

Yesterday David and I shucked and froze sixteen quarts of sweet corn.\u00a0 I told you about putting up corn on my old blog if you can find it.\u00a0 Every time I do corn I forget just how sticky everything gets.\u00a0 Thankfully we now have air conditioning or the job would have been unbearable.\u00a0 I have frozen corn on very hot summer days without air conditioning. I think that is why I quit doing it for a few years.<\/p>\n

My amazing corn cutting machine came in quite handy.\u00a0 I have the only one in town so you won’t find it in the stores.\u00a0 First I will show you the corn in the freezer and then you will be able to watch a video of my amazing corn cutting machine.<\/p>\n

It’s nice to know that when the snow is flying we can taste the wonderful taste of corn on the cob from our freezer.\u00a0 I still have corn left over from last year so we are stocked up now.<\/p>\n

Now for the amazing corn cutting machine.<\/p>\n

Here’s to happy sewing and sweet corn.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n
